Fine, it's not quite as nicely finished as my old slackline Ti but it's stood up to plenty of hard riding without an issue. The rear end doesn't feel as compliant as my old slackline either - could be a combination of 12mm bolt through, the seat stay angle or the tubing or just in my head. It's not a deal breaker though and the geometry and standover clearance make up for it.Saw a video a good while back where a guy seemed not that happy with the quality of a Kingdom hardtail frame.
How is yours?
I think the BB threads were misaligned. As in either side was fine on its own, with the BB face perpendicular to the thread, but the faces themselves were not parallel. This resulted in issues with the bearings. It was that Hambini guy. He must have taken the video down. I did not manage to find it.Fine, it's not quite as nicely finished as my old slackline Ti but it's stood up to plenty of hard riding without an issue.

What were the issues in the video?
Good point. A couple friends have or had Cotic bikes, so I know them quite well. They never appealed to me that much, though.Great thread. I'm surprised you never tried a cotic in your journey. Some of best bikes I've ridden.
Horses for courses I guess mate.Was running a Maxxis Rekon not too lang ago and that was not up to the task.
